18 One day, Anya runs 12 km at a speed of x km/h. The next day she walks 10 km at a speed of (x-4) km/h. (a) Write down an expression, in terms of x, for the time she spends running. .............................................. h [1] (b) Write down an expression, in terms of x, for the time she spends walking. .............................................. h [1] (c) The time Anya spends walking is 1 hour more than the time she spends running. W rite an equation in terms of x and show that it simplifies to x2-2x-48 = 0. [4] (d) Use factorisation to solve the equation x2-2x-48 = 0. x = .................. or x = ..................
